Chapter 117 Fried Bamboo Worms
“Let…let go!”
The soldier defending the city drew his sword out of its sheath with great difficulty.
Zhengyan immediately wiped away his tears, smiled awkwardly and took a few steps back, hiding behind Niangniang, "Brother, what...what are you doing?"
The soldier glared at him, put the knife back, and said unhappily: "One tael of silver per person, get out of here...get out of here!"
Zheng Yan glared and stretched out his index finger, "One or two, why don't you go and grab it... er... hehe~"
He stretched out his orchid finger and pressed down the big brother's knife, "Give it to me, I didn't say no, I still need to go home, right?"
It can be said that none of the soldiers guarding the city gate doubted the origins of this group of people. After all, Zhengyan played the role of a stingy miser to perfection.
After passing through the city gate, Zhengyan took two steps and wanted to put his arm around Niongniang, but was stopped by the latter's eyes.
Nianniang raised her eyebrows and said in a hoarse voice, "You don't want your hand anymore?"
"Ahem... this is it, let's do the whole act."
There were many patrol teams in Fengyang City, and scouts had also returned. Horses were still galloping through the streets, disturbing the people.
Jiang An patted Niang Niang and pointed his fat claw at the scout with a small flag on his horse's back, "Let's follow him..."
When the scouts report the military intelligence, they must look for the person who is in charge in Fengyang City.
On the way of tracking, Tuanzi did not forget to buy a big bun to eat. Not only did he eat it himself, he also bought one for everyone.
Fortunately, no one thought it was suspicious for them to wander around the streets.
After all, no spy would walk around the streets openly, let alone eat buns!
The white and tender buns and Jiang An's muddy face made him look like a little beggar...
She wiped the corner of her mouth with her sleeve, leaving only a pair of eyes as bright as stars in the sky.
They followed the fresh traces of horses all the way to the governor's mansion and stopped in an alley near the mansion.
Jiang An leaned against the wall and stuck his head out to look toward the entrance of the governor's mansion.
The surrounding area is heavily guarded, with guards guarding the gate and both sides of the mansion. The frequency of patrols here is also different from other places in the city.
Zhenglu came back from the direction of the back door and half squatted, "Miss, the back door is also guarded."
Nianniang glanced at the location of the mansion gate and said, "Why don't I go in, knock the man unconscious and carry him out, and you guys wait here with the young lady."
Jiang An stretched out his finger and shook it, saying in a sweet and innocent tone, "No~"
She gestured a lot and said, "If they also have those flying cigarettes for communication, then we're done for."
"This way we will become turtles in a jar~"
Zhengyan squatted down and poked the young lady, "Miss, this idiom is not used like this..."
Tuanzi raised his head proudly, "If you care about An An, just use it!"
The little guard drew circles on the ground with his fingers, 夢夢夢~
Zhenglu: "Miss, I just took a look and found that this house is only separated from the governor's mansion by a wall."
"I will come back tonight to see if anyone lives here. If so, it would be best if we could go into the Governor's Mansion from here!"
Jiang An patted the wall and nodded heavily, "Okay!"
She waved her fat paw, "Let's go eat!"
"Come back tonight!"
She hasn't tried Nan Zhao's food yet, so she doesn't know if it tastes good~
Because of the war, most of the shops in the city have closed, and only a few shops that have to continue to operate to make a living are still open.
Tuanzi found an inn that was still open one street away from the governor's mansion.
The inn was not big, but the owner was very welcoming. He said that if it wasn't so close to the governor's residence and there was no need to worry about bad guys, he would have closed the store.
Jiang An's dark face was also washed clean, and he raised his fat paws, "What delicious food is there? Come up and let An An have a taste~"
The shopkeeper noticed the silver ingot in Tuanzi's hand and was so happy that he smiled.
"Oh, this lady..."
"Don't worry, my inn serves authentic Nanzhao cuisine, and I guarantee you'll enjoy the taste of home!"
Tuanzi handed the silver ingot to the shopkeeper, and Fat Face said expectantly, "Go quickly~"
After an incense stick of time, when Jiang An was almost starving, the first dish was served.
The smile on Tuanzi's face disappeared all of a sudden, and his thin eyebrows twisted together.
The light in her eyes disappeared instantly, and she even put the chopsticks back where they were. "What is this!"
The shopkeeper pushed the dish in front of the God of Wealth, looking eagerly, "Fried bamboo worms, fresh bamboo worms, try it, is it the taste of home?"
Jiang An pouted his lips in grievance. He looked at the long, golden fried insects on the plate and swallowed his saliva.
"An An knows how to eat, don't rush her~"
Nianniang saw that the young lady looked listless, with her eyebrows curved.
"Shopkeeper, you don't have to look after us. An An is still young and isn't used to having people around."
"Okay, those guests, enjoy your meals and drinks!"
Zheng Yan forced a smile, "Eh... OK... OK."
When the shop owner walked away, he looked at the dish with a sad face, "Brother, have you eaten it?"
Zheng Lu didn't even look at it, "No."
The unlucky younger brother is cheating on his brother online, "Do you want to eat it?"
Jiang An pricked up his ears, yes, yes, do you want to eat?
Zhenglu: ...
He was determined to die and picked up the chopsticks under everyone's hopeful gaze, then closed his eyes...
Jiang An came closer to him, his fat paws resting on the table, his face curious, "Is it delicious?"
Zheng Yan also approached his brother from another direction, "Is it delicious?"
The corners of Nianniang's mouth curved up noticeably, and she calmly picked up the bugs on the plate with her chopsticks and put them into her mouth.
She had been to Nanzhao before.
There are many insects here, so the locals have developed many ways to eat the insects. Even if you don't look at the appearance of the dishes, they are still delicious.
Finally, Jiang An and Zheng Yan went to the street to show off a big bun each.
There were two of them squatting on the street. The bigger one approached the smaller one and said, "Miss, do you think there are bugs in this bun?"
Jiang An, who was eating voraciously, slapped Zheng Yan's face away and swallowed the bun in his mouth, "As long as An An didn't see it, An An wouldn't know!"
"You are holding back your words!"
Zheng Yan: “…Oh, okay.”
That night,
Zhenglu and Niangniang, dressed in night clothes, opened the windows of their respective rooms and jumped out as light as a swallow, preparing to go to the house next to the governor's mansion to find out what was going on.
"Take An An with you!"
Jiang An, who was also wearing a smaller version of a black nightgown, was jumping up and down on his chair.
"Brother, give me a hand!"
This is Zheng Yan who ran onto the rooftop at some point...
Zhenglu and Nianniang looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes, and had no choice but to hold the pendant in their hands and set off again.
